Don’t waste your time. Jezebel is part of Gawker and on Gawker, the cops are always wrong.

If you fight someone who has a knife, you WILL get cut, and you have an extremely good chance of getting cut so badly that you will in danger of bleeding to death before either your partner can stop the bleeding, or an EMT can slap a tourniquit on you. Tasers suck against a moving target, and frankly are really only…

Minutes? Yout cut the cartoid and you’ll bleed out in seconds.

If someone lunges at you with a knife you have a right to defend yourself, I feel.

This situation was tragic, and I am really sad about it, but I really had to point this out:

Adam and Jamie are old and slow, so the “knife-kill” distance is 16 ft. But I’ve seen scenarios with a younger and faster knife wielder. 25 ft wasn’t enough distance for the officer to safely react.

his glasses !!

Niall’s particular brand of IDGAFness is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Damn it, I finally just admitted that I totally dig them, and now they take a “hiatus”?! Will I ever see Niall’s quirkiness again?

Yeah, I understand the knee-jerk reaction of support for the accusers given the topic at hand, but when you start looking into this case, they come out looking as bad if not worse than Elliott does in any of his tweets

I love Jezebel, I’m a Canadian, and I identify as a feminist. I was wondering, have you read the 75 pages of court proceedings that are available online? I’m part way thought it and it doesn’t seem so cut and dry like this article seems to make it out to be. I think we should believe anyone when they say they have…

Way to be dense. Men are more likely to be murdered because they are more likely to get involve in dangerous shit like drug dealing and illegal gambling and just basic bawling.

Not to undermine your point, but a man was also killed in this particular tragic scenario...

She isn’t, and don’t call her Shirley

US pronunciation of names can be tricky. I grew up in Canada and have had so many Americans get genuinely pissed off at me because of the way I pronounce their French last names. Like people have yelled at me thinking I was making fun of them. Meanwhile I have a really difficult time remembering to pronounce silent…

No. I didn’t compare her to a terrorist. What I did is used an extreme example to make a point. She used her own belief, which I happen to share, and her devotion to a cause, which I happen to admire, in order to give authority to her opinion, which I happen to disagree with.

I’m glad you finally reached that conclusion. Saying things like “it’s not wise to fool with nature” and “Cloning, however, has extreme possible repercussions: and the strongest opponents thereto are scientists for this very reason.” are so broad and alarmist as to be without any meaning.

Some plants have very complex…

I moved to California to get paid to research by one of the best universities in the world and in my entire life I have found few mindsets that are more exceptionalist and anti-science then the california hippie. Also people who think it’s unwise to change our relationship with nature should not consume 90% of the…

But we are not supposed to judge others.

Yeah, and just imagine if more people skipped artificial insemination or plain old baby-having and went straight to orphanages? You know how many kids would be saved?
